What our customers say about their holidays

  The property is in a lovely spot overlooking the river with good views and a short walk to the town.

  It's spacious and comfortable (sitting on the window seat and admiring the view was great) and fairly well equipped. Unfortunately, it does have a down side. There's no gas supply to the property so there's no central heating as a consequence. This means you're reliant on a cylinder heater for hot water, which is a problem if someone has a bath, it means you've got to wait for more hot water. There's a number of storage heaters which gave off decent heat, but one in the twin bedroom took a while to decide to work, despite us trying the controls. There's no dishwasher (it doesn't list one). But if a group of you are staying for a week do you really want to be washing pots after meals. There's a large but old flat screen tv and Freeview box. The operation of both requires two remotes and is a bit of a faff. Could really do with upgrading the telly and getting Sky. We coupled our iPhone to the stereo unit in the room and listened to music instead.

  We were slightly concerned when we booked this apartment as it was located very near to a high busy looking flyover but we certainly shouldn't have been.

  This is by far one of the best holiday apartments we have stayed in and we have stayed in many! It is bright and spacious and has the most spectacular view of the river and the steam railway - a massive bonus! It is extremely well fitted out and very comfortable. Cedric, next door, who welcomed us was a star ensuring we knew how things worked etc. The apartment is ideally located just outside of the main hussle and bussle of Whitby , however, it is a very easy stroll into the centre. You hear very very little of the noise from the flyover. We hardly used the car at all during our stay which we could leave safely parked in the designated parking bay right outside the apartment building. We would love to come again this year but looks like the apartment is fully booked until the very end of the year - why should I be surprised! It's excellent.

  Sandy Bottoms is a fantastic apartment.

  It is very light, clean and beautifully furnished. The bathrooms are gorgeous. There are ever changing views of the river, particularly from the lovely big window seat in the living room. We saw herons, little egrets, cormorants, guillemots and lots of other birds. We even saw a seal a couple of times. It was fascinating to watch the movement of the tides, and we loved the little tide clock! We also enjoyed seeing the steam train puffing in and out on the opposite side of the river. It was great to have a parking space at the front of the building and it’s an easy 10 minute walk into Whitby. We had a brilliant week and we were so sorry to leave. We hope to be back in the not too distant future!

  Sandy Bottoms is in a great location to explore Whitby and the surrounding area.

  The apartment was clean ,tidy and welcoming. There's lots of information available to navigate the various appliances together with good recommendations for eating out etc We particularly enjoyed sampling the menu at the Magpie Cafe! Visitors should walk the 199 steps as they are not as strenuous as first thought. A walk along the coast to Robin hoods bay is a great workout but the route can be tricky in places. We also used the bus from and to there as an alternative which is an easier option. This was our second visit to Sandy Bottoms and whilst it unlikely we'd stay there again,we would certainly recommend it to others considering a visit to Whitby.

  Lovely clean, modern apartment sat on the banks of the river, situated in a nice quiet spot with a short walk to all the local sites and amenities.

  View from lounge window is great, whether you want to look out at the abbey, watch one of the steam trains come in or just watch the changes to the river with the tide coming in and out, and the window seat is a great place to do it. Apartment comes with its own dedicated parking spot which is ideal, was able to park the car up with no stress. Owners sent us information before our stay regarding how to use electrics, such as tv, showers, cooker etc which was very useful, was also a file on site containing the information along with recommended places to eat, doctors, etc. only one it was missed was car mechanic and wouldn’t you know it, we needed one
